Ha, don't want the cops pulling you up and asking why there's 10 cartridges in your pocket!. "9 for the pubs/bars one for the girlfriends place" is your answer. "Come with me is his !!!"

I was looking for information also on Google and found myself here .😅 There is 2 videos all I've found interesting though what I've researched the aircraft coffman starters and they have different ways of starting , with shell straight to cylinder and shell to mechanical starter motor . The motorcycle in the video on YouTube etc I think it's shell to cylinder like putting airline down the inlet of your engine .still looking for more information looks like a production part might be modified from an aircraft engine TBO
